Nova17

THE DIGITAL ROUTER FOR SMALLER CONFIGURATIONS

Small in size, but big on performance — with Nova17 you benefit from the superb quality that you can expect from all Lawo routers. This audio router excels with the sort of features that, even in smaller configurations, assure completely professional results. Whether in broadcasting, production or theatre applications, thanks to its flexible technology, the Nova17 can be used for signal distribution as well as a format converter or MADI breakout box.

What counts are inner values

 

In addition to its outstanding quality, Nova17 has an extensive set of features within a broad performance spectrum. With Nova17 you can have up to 128 inputs/outputs; add up to six MADI ports to enable another 384 channels. All the channels are interconnectable and mono routing is possible for AES interfaces.

The system also provides internal signal processing: gain control, a summing matrix and equalizer are just some of the many features that distinguish the Nova17 from a simple router.
